Industrial Strength Magic

Perry Z has a Magical Destiny. Born to a Magical Fantasy Princess and a nine-to-five Supervillain in the most superhero-riddled city in the world, Perry has never felt adequate — no talent for magic and not a scrap of superpowers to his name. When The System boots and unlocks his powers, it forces him to follow in his father's footsteps, but he'd rather take after his mother. Maybe there's a way he can do both.

Perry returns to Franklin City to find his home under the control of a being of unimaginable power. To stop the mad god's cruel games, Perry has to win — if he can even remember he's playing. Even as Perry struggles to save his city, an unstoppable force from the dawn of the age of capes grows in power, laying plans to extinguish humanity from the face of the Earth. Paradox must walk the fine line between madness and sanity, hero and villain, life and death.

The Replicator problem is handled — well, de-escalated. Life is pretty good for Paradox and his family, but circumstances endlessly conspire to complicate things. Unplanned magical bio-teleportation surprises, conniving androids, super-politics, and royal family infighting are only the beginning when a new power begins to grow in the West: a power so potent, insidious, and over-educated, it will give the Prince of Manita a run for his money.

Paradox is getting married — and during the reception, he learns about the biggest problem with their upcoming destination: the world is ending within the next six months, as prophesied by a time-traveling eldritch demigod. Who is responsible? Is it one of Paradox's many enemies, a dangerous abomination from his past, or an unstoppable force of nature that has always been on his side? Why not all three? More importantly, how does he stop it?
